Hi all; I was a late upgrader to 8.5-8.6. I read about all the problems with it and waited until 8.5.1 and 8.6 came out. I did all the 3rd party upgrades, font fixer and such and 8.6 has been rock solid. The only trouble I've had with it was caused by me doing something to glitch it up. My broadband internet and networking have been trouble free, even when I was on dailup. HTH --Thanks; Rev.
